The Hope Podcast with Lina Abujamra

The Gen Z Series: (27) What does God want me to do for the rest of my life?

"What am I supposed to do with my life?"
It's one of the biggest questions Gen Z is asking, and one of the biggest sources of anxiety.
Many young adults are terrified of missing God's will, making the wrong decision, choosing the wrong career, or taking a path that will somehow derail their future. But what if we've misunderstood calling altogether?
In this episode, Lina and Micah dive into one of the most important conversations from Lina's new book All Your Life. Together they explore what the Bible actually teaches about calling, purpose, and God's guidance.
You'll discover why your primary calling is not a career, why God is more concerned about who you're becoming than what you're doing, and why you can trust Him with your future.
If you've ever worried about missing God's plan for your life, this episode will encourage you with one simple truth:
God is better at leading you than you are at missing Him.
Stop waiting for a blueprint and start following the One who knows the way.
Listen now.

Why smart women stay stuck even when they know what to do [Special episode]

In this episode, my sister Diana Sahakian and I talk honestly about why so many smart, capable women stay stuck in cycles they want to break.
Many women know what they should do, yet still find themselves struggling in the same areas of life, whether it's relationships, faith, health, emotional well-being, or stress.
We talk about emotional overload, burnout, exhaustion, survival mode, and the hidden pressures that often keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles.
Not another plan. Not another strategy.
Just an honest conversation about what's really going on beneath the surface, and how to begin moving forward with God's help.

My story: Multinationalism, Medicine, and Ministry [Special episode]

I recently sat down with pastor Jeff Bucknam from Harvest Bible Chapel, and I shared parts of my story I’ve never shared this openly before… 
From leaving a war-torn country… to Green Bay… to study medicine… to heartbreak… to discovering God’s call in ministry… to church hurt… to the expansion of ministry into humanitarian work… to continuing to wait on God…
This conversation is more than just a story. It’s a reminder that God wastes nothing.
If you’ve ever:• wondered how God uses painful seasons• struggled to trust His direction• felt discouraged in ministry• questioned your purpose• or needed hope that your story still matters…
… this conversation is for you.
Because sometimes the hardest parts of our story become the very places God moves most powerfully.

The Gen Z Series: (26) If I am a Christian, why do I still feel so anxious?

Gen Z is one of the most anxious generations in history, and many people feel stuck wondering why anxiety still lingers even though they love God.
Is anxiety simply medical? Is it spiritual? Or is there something deeper happening in our formation and discipleship?
In this conversation, we explore what the Bible actually says about anxiety, fear, control, and trust. You’ll see that even faithful people in Scripture struggled with fear, and that feeling anxious does not mean you are failing spiritually.
God’s response to anxiety is not shame. It’s invitation.
The goal is not to never feel anxious. The goal is to not let anxiety lead you.
If you’ve been battling anxious thoughts, emotional overwhelm, or fear about the future, this episode is for you.

The Gen Z Series: (25) What happens when our emotions are left unchecked?

In today’s culture, expressing our emotions is often seen as the highest form of authenticity.
But what happens when emotions begin to control our decisions, relationships, and spiritual lives?
In this episode, we’re talking about the danger of unchecked emotions and what the Bible says about surrendering our feelings to God instead of being ruled by them. We’ll explore how negative emotions, when left unaddressed, can lead us into sin, damage relationships, and slowly pull us away from trusting God.
If you’ve ever felt controlled by anger, anxiety, fear, insecurity, or discouragement, this conversation will help you think biblically about your emotions and learn how to bring them under the lordship of Jesus.

The Gen Z Series: (24) Does God care about how I feel?

What do you do with emotions like anxiety, anger, sadness, disappointment, or fear? Are emotions something Christians should suppress, something we should follow, or something we should surrender to God?
In this episode, we’re talking honestly about emotions: where they come from, what they reveal, and how they fit into the Christian life. Because while emotions are real and God-given, they were also affected by the fall. That means our feelings can reveal what’s happening in our hearts, but they were never meant to become our authority.
At the end of the day, emotions make wonderful servants but terrible masters. Your feelings are real, but they are not your authority… God is.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Does God care how I feel?” or struggled to know what to do with difficult emotions, this conversation is for you.

The Gen Z Series: (23) How to stay disciplined when you don’t feel motivated

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, showing up, staying consistent, trying to grow, and yet… nothing is changing?
You’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason you lose motivation and what to do when discipline feels impossible. From burnout and overcommitment to chasing the wrong outcomes, Lina breaks down why we quit too soon and how to regain momentum.
This is a conversation about the daily, ordinary faithfulness no one sees… and why it matters more than you think.
If you’re tired, discouraged, or ready to give up, this episode will remind you where true motivation comes from, and how to keep going.

The Gen Z Series: (22) How do I break habits that don’t honor God?

We all have habits, but not all of them are helping us follow Jesus.
In this episode, we’re talking honestly about the habits that quietly shape our lives and how to break the ones that don’t honor God.
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know when to say no,” you’re not alone. That tension is real, especially in a culture that normalizes distraction and blurs the line between what’s harmless and what’s actually pulling you away from God.
So how do you know the difference between a bad habit and a sinful one? And more importantly, how do you change?
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start walking in victory, this episode is for you.
